OK, OK, I shouldn't get such joy from this...
It appears that a Catholic lawyer is filing charges of heresy against John Kerry in an ecclesiastical court. This probably won't go anywhere, but for one brief, shining moment, how joyous!
I sure I'm going to get all sorts of guff about Kerry-hating, but look, that's not it. I spent some of my time last term reading Maitland's Forms of Action, a great deal of which dealt with church courts and charges that evolved out of them. Just looking into this story is like a blast from the past. I mean, I don't care if Kerry gets excommunicated or not--unlikely anyway, and since I'm not Catholic, it ain't my problem--but if court-watching is a spectator sport, how often do you get to indulge in this particular arena?
